Joe was selected to have his pieces presented in the middle school art show. I love this for so many reasons. First, he just loves art class and art club after school. His art teacher thanked him last night for being a leader in that space. Second, He's not a naturally gifted artist, by a text book definition. In my opinion, this makes his interest and his accomplishment even more cool and interesting! When I was in school, I had the view that you were "good at art" or you weren't and that was that. It would never have occurred to me to pursue it because I enjoyed it; regardless of whether I was considered good. I was proud to see Joe recognized for something he enjoys so much. I loved his work!
